"The tour is so flexible. it starts as a walking tour but halfway through turns into a food tour! I really enjoyed the dishes and places we visited, many of which we wouldn’t have known to go to on our own.
The whole tour felt like catching up with a friend.

A Perfect Introduction to Oaxaca
"Tanivet was incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and patient with us and our two kids (7 and 10). We learned about the city's history, art, and culture. We toured through the city, had great drinking chocolate, visited the local landmarks, and she kept us rapt the whole time. She was very attentive to the kids and made sure we all had a great experience. We would book her again next time we come back!"

The Highlight of Oaxaca!
"My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of touring with Rolando on our last day in Oaxaca after spending a week in Puerto Escondido. Without being superlative, Rolando's incredible knowledge of the city of Oaxaca, Mesoamerican history and culture, and architecture, made our time with him not only the best part of our trip, but an experience we will remember forever. Rolando's personality, masterful English, and attention to detail make his city tour an absolute must for anyone planning on visiting this profoundly important place in Mexico. We look forward to visiting this incredible city again - and can gurantee we will be planning our trip around his availability! Muchos, muchos gracias!! "
